Who can see my files?
You control your file visibility in File Search companion. Only you can see your private files unless you choose to share them. Files stored in shared locations, such as Microsoft 365 team sites, are accessible to team members with the appropriate permissions.
Note
File Search companion currently supports Microsoft 365 files only. Non-Microsoft files aren't included in search results.
